I have always enjoyed making things, and have embroidered and sewn since I was small, growing up to make clothes and toys for the family and soft furnishings for the home. I was introduced to the wonderful world of textiles, and went on to complete a City and Guilds course in Patchwork and Quilting at Tresham Institute.


“ Jungle” and “Forest Fire” were made in response to a newscast of bush fires and they explore the texture and colours of those subjects. I wanted to show the amazing variety of texture and colour associated with the rain forest by combining fabrics and thread. The pieces are finished with machine stitching and hand embroidery.
